A Better World

The Day

Today was supposed to be the day, but as Robin, Aqualad, and Kid Flash sat in the Hall of Justice, the felt as if it was anything but.

The League had all but lied to them. They said they were going to get to see the League's headquarters, but all they got was access into the tourist trap. There was a giant tower floating in space. And the league, their mentors, never told them about it.

Overall, today felt like it was pointless. They were nothing more than what they were went they entered, possibly less, even. They had gone off on a mission without them.

The League was supposed to stand for truth and justice. But mainly truth. By hiding this 'Watchtower' from them they had become hypocrites.

So here they were, sitting, waiting. Until the grand idea of investigating the fire at Cadmus got around. Even though they all agreed, they didn't want to be found out.

A flash of light, then a yellow sheen appeared. A group of kids their age, walked through. To make this strange event even stranger, it was them. Speedy, Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad led the pack. Behind them was a black girl, a blonde girl in green, a green girl, another girl dressed as a magician, and a boy that looked a lot like Superman.

The three teens got in defensive positions.

"Who are you?"

"We're Young Justice, and we've come to save the world," their Speedy said.

The three were shocked. The other Robin looked over to the computer where the Cadmus files were still up.

"You guys go, there's something there you need to find. We'll stay here and cover for you," he said.

"Why should we trust you?" Robin said.

"Batingency Plan 7."

Robin's eyes widened, and he had no more objections.

"Come on guys, let's go show the league. It's time for some poetic justice."

The three left, and the Rebels marveled at how easy it was to get them to leave.

"Batingency Plan 7?" Powerboy asked.

"I'll explain later," Nightwing said. "We need to stay here, cover in case the League comes back. You guys take care of Luthor."

And that's exactly what they did.


Tada! The sequel to Stepping Up. I guess this is a trilogy now... I've got this mostly written, just need to finish up and post it.

Have a jolly day,
